Each lesson contains hands-on or interactive activities as well as explanations of the science and engineering. Biomedical - Design A Paraplegic Saddle - 10 Pages You and your classmates are biomedical engineers assigned to develop a new equestrian saddle for a paraplegic rider. Without the use of their legs, how does the rider balance on top of the horse? Biomedical - Biomechanics Of Joints - 7 Pages In this activity, you will build a model of a human arm and shoulder. The model will demonstrate that these body parts act like different types of mechanical joints and that muscles "pull" but do not "push". You will also examine the range of motion of your knee, elbow and wrist. Chemical - Chromatography - 6 Pages Chromatography is used by crime laboratories to identify clues such as blood, ink, or other substances found at a crime scene. Chromatograms of these clues are compared against chromatograms of known substances for identification. In this experiment you get to be the detective! Can you identify the 12 color colored markers? Chemical - T-Shirt Chromatography - 3 Pages Chromatography is a technique used to separate mixtures. In this activity you will create your own colorful T-shirt design while learning about chromatography. You will separate the ink from permanent colored markers to make a rainbow of colors on your T-shirt!

Extractions: This fascinating book for science teachers contain 507 pages with over 400 discrepant events to motivate students in learning science is specifically designed and written for elementary, junior high and senior high school teachers. It is a collection of 411 carefully selected and tested Discrepant Events. These are surprising, counterintuitive, and paradoxical phenomena, which are interest arousing and motivational. It is broad in scope, covering such topics as air, weather, characteristics of matter, chemicals, energy, static and current electricity, sound and light, space and earth science, plants and human biology. Each event is self-contained on one page and includes a materials list, procedure, questions and explanations and one or two clear sketches! B2 "INVITATIONS TO SCIENCE INQUIRY" Supplement to 1st and 2nd Editions.....$27.50 By: Dr. Tik L. Liem 175 pages filled with 150 additional Discrepant Events (over the first edition) among which 50 are over and above the events in the second edition. More Discrepant Events have been added to each chapter of the first two editions. Like the first and second editions, emphasis have been placed in the use of simple and readily available materials such as jars, adhesive tape, straws, candles, paper clips, rubber bands, pins, needles, balls, marbles, eggs, clothespins and magnets. The author's choice of materials makes these ISI (Invitations to Science Inquiry) books especially useful for schools lacking in equipment and teachers lacking a strong science background.

NTTI Lesson: Static Electricity University of MissouriKansas City to request a high school student to visit theclassroom to demonstrate and lead hands-on electricity activities for students http://www.thirteen.org/edonline/nttidb/lessons/kc/statkc.html
Extractions: Grades 3-5 In this lesson students will be involved in exploratory investigations to learn about static electricity using inexpensive "grocery store" items. Video segments will be used to verify student's experiments and predictions. Students will communicate their experiences with others by collecting and graphing data. Science for You #13: Where Does Electricity Come From? Electricity and Magnetism #1: Static Electricity Students will be able to: Initiate a discussion with students to access their prior experience with static electricity. Examples might include: clothes sticking together when removed from a dryer, shock felt when touching an object or person after walking across a carpet, lightning.

Extractions: Using the Learning Cycle to Teach Physical Science discusses and gives examples of a science teaching strategythe learning cyclethat emphasizes science as a process of inquiry rather than as a body of knowledge, and uses questions, activities, and experiences to guide students in constructing science concepts on their own. The first part of the book discusses the rationale for this approach and its use in teaching science. The second part then gives examples of how the cycle can be used to teach 6 basic physical science concepts: (1) Bernoulli's principle, (2) acids and bases, (3) properties of gases, (4) expansion and contraction of gases, (5) circuits, and (6) density.
